I wrote this for MissMagicalCat who requested a RumpleAdmetus oneshot, hope you like!

"MACAVITY!" Demeter yelled as there was a sudden crash and caused us all to go into hiding, Munkustrap makes sure his evil older brother isn't around before going into hiding as well.

Then I heard a giggle, one I knew oh so well, the giggle of my secret love, Rumpleteazer. She and her brother, Mungojerrie, started to dance, oh she looked so lovely when she danced, what I wouldn't give to be in her brother's place so I could dance with her, maybe one day.

"Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, we're a notorious couple of cats!"

So may times I've tried working up my courage to tell her how I feel but I get shaky and nervous, the only sounds I can get out of my mouth are raspy breathing and rubbish words, maybe one day, I can tell her.

I sometimes wanted to come with the twins on their usual heists, not to steal, but just to be near Rumpleteazer, feel her soft fur on mine, hold her paw with my own, hold her when she gets scared, maybe one day, I'll ask.

I was so crazy for her, I considered working for Macavity, like her. She stole for him often and we'd get to work together ,I could imagine how it'd go...

"What's that?" he'd ask, looking at his long, sharp claws, "Work for me? and why, pray tell, would I allow a Jellicle to work for me?"

"Well, I'd like to see what it's like, working for you." I'd lie,he'd raise an eyebrow and start to circle me, leaving me stiff.

"Well, I know Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer work for you and they're Jellicles." I'd say, and he'd growl a bit. "I-I'm sure they could teach me, and I'd be worthy of your trust." I'd say, he'd put on a considering face and growl, "Fine, but show one move of betrayal and I'll end your life." he'd say, and I smile, happy at the thought of Rumpleteazer training me, "Don't worry, I'll be under great training."

But I'd be betraying the Jellicles, and I knew where my loyalties lie, so that was out of the question.

But if he ever laid a paw on her, I'd kill him with my bare claws.

Sometimes, I'd play with the kittens to show her I could be more than just a tom, that I could be fatherly and caring.

I'd act silly and aloof just to hear her giggle and make her smile, the smiling part was a success but I've yet to hear her giggle, but seeing her smile at me made my heart flip, maybe one day I'd hear her giggle.

I watched the whole junkyard gang up on the twins as they finished their song and dance, they got on top of the TSE 1, and threw their burlap sacks to them, "And there's nothing at all to be done about that!" they sang.

I watched with a heavy heart as she left with Mungojerrie, probably to cause more trouble, but I knew she'd return.

She always did, and I keep hoping she'll come back with newfound feelings for me.

Maybe one day.
